What is it with the pet store animals. They don't know how to care for them properly. My son called me from the local pet co and says they have a gecko that has a tail that is as thin as a mouse tail and they say it is healthy. It just makes me sick to se these animals. I want to buy them all just to save them.

I too went to a similar store, their tails were not as thin as mouse tails but they were skinny, this was also because they were still very young. The following week I went there again and not one gecko had a tail that wasn't regenerated. Most pet stores house 10-20 geckos in one 10-gallon tank, keeping them like this causes competition for food and rapid spread of illnesses. I feel as though some store employees care about the animals while other could care less. Most people don't care about reptiles because they aren't fluffy and cuddly. But in the end, if you think about it, the stores are only actually hurting themselves. They hinder their own business.
